Welcome from the Parent Service Association (PSA)
Every Trinity parent is a member of the Parent Service Association (PSA). The mission of the PSA is to facilitate a healthy social life for students through monthly class parties. Social events are an important part of our students’ lives. With the assistance and support of a network of Class Parents, Trinity parents take an active role in planning and hosting class parties. For more information, see the Parent Handbook on the Parents Page. Our 2024-2025 PSA chairs, Alan and Anne Nicklaus look forward to connecting with you soon!

Trinity parents are asked to sign up for volunteer positions for both School Events and for Class Parties.
